ECA renewed flyer Why ECA? The circus is known throughout the world as a variety of entertaining acts in a central ring involving artistic displays, acrobatics, clowns, music, performing animals, and unimaginable strength, beauty and daring. The modern European circus can be traced back to London around 1770. Today more than 1,000 circuses operate all over Europe. Many are owned or managed by talented descendants of the original great circus families. The European Circus Association (ECA) was established to promote circus arts and culture. Flyer Why ECA? >>
